Proceeding contribution from Ben Wallace (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 December 2011. It occurred during Legislative debate on Prevention of Nuclear Proliferation.


Prevention of Nuclear Proliferation

Can my hon. Friend perhaps answer a technical question relating to the Treasury's responsibilities? Is the United Kingdom in the correct legal position unilaterally to stop banks being used in trade with Iran, or could we find UK companies that abide by the European Union ruling or law, which still allows that, taking the UK Government to court to allow them to continue using those banks?
